Netflix reinstates worker who spoke out against Dave Chappelle

To Be Continued...


Borrowed from D dcll

Noted, indeed.

Apparently Netflix has just fired an employee for leaking confidential information about the Chappelle special to Bloomberg. The saga continues!
This is not the pork orc from the OP but a different employee.

The buck has to stop here. Has to.

At some point reality has to kick in and business needs to recognize that these "squeaky wheel" activists do not represent anything but a tiny ideological minority and can be kicked to the curb without regard.

The reign of terror needs to end. And all its going to take is just one or two big players to just say a simple and firm "No" to their demands.

What really irritates me about the whole situation is that Chappelle even said exactly what would happen. He anticipated this backlash and now he has been proven right.

What's up with all special protections for trans-people? Why are they above comedy? The black community would love some of the protection they get. (something Chappelle rightfully pointed out in his special lol)

Has the black community received more protection because of his special?

A neo member arguing for the deplatforming of someone they don’t like?

🤔
The message count is reeeeeealy suspicious....

I don't find Chappelle very funny, luckily nobody forces me to watch him nor does he infiltrate the media I do to preach in such a manner it spoils things. I can't see any reason to deplatform him.

If people from the other place could accept we are not all drones to be programmed, we could have debate, ideas and even change our views if convinced. They need to grow up.

Ehh
There's another forum that's rapidly imploding due to its sale.. As more and more abandon that "community," its natural that some of its former members will end up elsewhere.

Even if I strongly disagree with a lot of them, I'm just happy that forum is imploding.
 
One of the directors shared the link to the meeting
Thats what Netflix's investigation concluded, that a link to the meeting was shared? It's after the fact and they can't be seen to be excluding trans employees.
QBR is not the forum in which she would be invited to or principally raise this as an issue. Any other person would face consequences

They crashed a senior presidents meeting and just got away with it? Fucking legend, I hope they self-identify as the CEO next and cancel more of their own shitty shows.

It does beg the question though, where was our blue haired heroine when netflix was sexualising children with cuties? I can only presume they had universe level threats to deal with or something...

Watch the special again. Actually WATCH it, not just little snippets while you troll forums. In fact go back and watch ALL of his netflix specials. He is talking DIRECTLY to people like you with a message you very much need to hear.
There was no message other than, “Im a petulant old bitch, how dare you question me. Your punishment is 70 minutes of mostly unfunny garbage.”

This is so true

I don’t understand how the tables have turned so much. I remember when I was a kid the right or/or religion was trying to censor stupid shit and now you have the left being the new moral
Puritans and trying to censor and acting like a new religion. How did this happen, hell not even ten years ago it was Occupy Walsteeet and now they seem to carry water for the big corporations and support censorship

Obviously not all left, I think the more traditional liberals are appalled by what has happened to the “left”

Things seem to be reaching flashpoint now. Netflix has fired an organizer of the walkout for leaking data, meanwhile over at Apple they just shitcanned a leader of the #appletoo "movement".

Just wondering if this is going to start a domino effect across the entire tech sector because if the giants all act in lockstep, its done. Because they simply cannot cancel everyone at the same time.

Given than netflix probably records all of your viewing data and can track when and where you pause, rewind, and revisit in every show, I can only hope stuff like Cuties was a FBI-run flytrap for pedos to load up a watch list.

I always make sure to pause a bunch during random scenes when rewatching a choice bit of (normal cishet female) nudity just to mess with this tracking data :p

Wouldn't surprise me AT ALL that lots of online/streaming content have built in monitoring systems to flag authorities to suspicious high risk behavior. Play a lot of MS Flight sim and always bury your plane into an important monument? Flagged for review. Watch a lot of netflix stuff that some fed psychologist has determined is a warning for dangerous behavior? Flagged. It ain't all ad tracking.

I disagree. This protest is a because of egomania and a lack of humor. In the show, Chappelle makes fun of Jews, black people, white people, Asian people and women. None of those people are complaining. Its just certain transgender people who somehow think they are above being joked about.

But it's not just those certain transgender people. It's also "allies", people who have not seen it or seen bits out of context, people who just enjoy piling on, people who are responsible for the mob pressure on Daphne, and probably people who don't like Chappelle or his comedy in general.

It's just that right now (for a few years actually) these false victimhood people figured out how to be assholes while signalling virtue (edit: and threatening the livelihood of anyone who calls them out).

For sure the loudest complainers about this kind of dumb shit are regular cis people who attach themselves to this movement as "allies" so they can virtue signal for culture points. Getting offended on behalf of some other group you don't even really belong to is the hot new trend the last few years.

Wanna know why it has become trendy over the last several years? Because all these people crying about everything are the recent products of a new age educational approach where everybody gets a gold star, red ink is never used, everything has to be positive, and you didn't come last in the race, you came first in your personal category segment.

They're part of a generation who were brought up never being told they were wrong. But that's not how the real world works and so once they enter it when they're told they're wrong or aren't able to get what they want they don't know how to act and so they just resort to prehistoric primalism, aka throwing a tantrum.

Space Jews!

But good on Netflix. I'd fire her ass too for leaking confidential costing data. I have complete costing data at work since I do finance. Every product right to the penny. If I leaked that data out, I'd get fired too. I might get sued by the company too. Who knows.

You cant do that and shit cry behind a special needs group like a baby. Problem is many of them know what they're doing, so it can be argued the punishment should be worse because they are purposely trying to skirt around the issue.
Obligatory:


I just watched the first 3-4 minutes and it so true.

At my company, the younger people (all under 30):

- all expect company phones, and have zero responsibilities. For you youngin's who think cell phones are unlimited data and messaging standard thats not what it was like years back. So IT would tell us who have phones (like me), when you travel only use the phone when you need to for business, or if you know you'll use it a lot, IT will set up right away some kind of business trip plan with the provider so its cheap for the company. The never follow it. They go on VACATION with the phones on all times and came back with a $10,000 bill from Europe. Word got out. You'd think that embarrassing event would be enough to warn people dont be an idiot. Guess what? Her friend did the same on another trip for $8,000. I dont even know how it can be that much. But must been on 24/7 and downloading tons of work emails and files for weeks
- dick around doing snapchat on them even during meetings! I got snapped a few times myself and didnt know until they showed me later. Even during important meetings when execs are presenting. Still snapchatting
- show up late for meetings
- want to work from home when they feel like it even when their boss says can you come in for meetings!
- young sales account manager. Not happy with a tiered fleet car system. They want cash so they can get their own car (often a BMW 3 series)
- try to boss around vets. didnt work for some as the VP had enough feedback from people and canned their asses
- here's a good one I've only seen from young people. quitting on the spot with no 2 or 3 week notice. Just walk and go. They have a new job lined up which is fine, but didnt want to give notice some reason. Before them the only time I've seen people leave on the spot is if they are honest leaving for a competing company in which you'll get escorted out the building asap

It isn't just younger people. Everyone feels they have a shield to hide behind. Example:

An old woman refused to come to work for 2 years, did fucking nothing but go bat shit on me for not having a main pass to a jolly. I moved her on ergo complaint that I am a misogynist.

An old guy got caught out lying and pilfering (and a whole load of bollocks he dropped)- spreads rumours I am bullying him when I showed him the door.

A young girl has done 1 hr work out of 300 paid hours with her leaders basically giving up because she has been taking the piss since 6 months in the role. When I gave her a task directly she refused claiming mental health. She is getting the boot tomorrow.

The problem is cry babies think if they cry hard enough they can do fuck all for a living. They devalue genuine complaints people may have but don't give a shit because they are ultimately selfish cunts.

Make examples out of them or let their failure become your failure.

So many lies are used to argue that the special should be pulled. And they know they’re lying too, which is why you can’t take them seriously. Their arguments are purposely disingenuous to create a false narrative that will get them power and influence through guilt.

It’s argued the special will “lead to violence against trans people.” There’s no evidence of this whatsoever and the premise alone is mind numbingly ridiculous. Not a single person will watch this special and decide to hurt a trans person over it.

The number of trans people killed every year will be used as “evidence” of hate crimes, yet most of them are not hate crimes. Those are rare. Many are related to sex work.

The incessant desire to play victim and sheer entitlement is what drives all the outrage on situations like this special. If someone’s offended by it, that’s their right, but it’s not the job of the rest of the world to cater to the individual sensitivities of the few. The world doesn’t work that way. At some point these people need to realize they’re going to have to exist in society with those who disagree with them. And if they can’t handle it they have the legal right to move out into the middle of the woods away from society.

Here is the cold hard truth for the most militant types…

The statistical vast numero uno threat of mutilation, bodily harm and/or death is… yourselves.

Seek the help you need, instead of trying to force others around you into your false world view. Shed some of the narcissism and ego and realize your nothing more than pawns in a political game.

Do better by you and only you, first and foremost.

Do people seriously not understand that this type of comedy is meant to offend and be sensational? It's shock humor and you're supposed to laugh because it's so politically incorrect.

What the fuck is so hard to understand about that?


How many people watch a fucking Chappelle stand-up special and leave actually believing him and taking what he said seriously?

Has this happen on my team. She figured out she could call in sick claiming mental health and get a pass. Maybe at first but she abused it.

She was the worst worker even when she came in. Completely dragged team bonuses down having to pick up her slack.

Once I got into a higher position that the boss would listen, got that bitch fired immediately. The look on that lazy cunts face was priceless. Also the team got back on track, loads got lazy as they saw what she got away with.

can you not use the “T” word? We do have Trans members here on gaf. We can talk about this person in question m, and her shit woke culture. But know we have a trans community here that has been super supportive and cordial here on gaf without pushing woke agenda’s.
Be respectful in your opinion/discussion of said topic.

What ?? Since when that word is offensive ? Isn’t that their gender ?
I am honestly not trying to be rude or insulting to them as that. I am not transphobic at all.
Sorry if anyone here got offended. My precious msg was directed ONLY to that bitch.
